Thanks. I often find that adding smoke at the top rounds out flames. In this case, the black has just a little bit of purple to it just before going completely black.

That's something I've been doing with all of my Super Dungeon minis- I try to highlight and shade in complimentary colors as this makes the colors feel brighter and more vibrant (so the flame that has bright yellow on one end gets some purple on the other).

One question though (out of curiosity), why did you decide to go with the red on runes/patterns on his armor and not yellow shining trhough like on the card?

I actually didn't reference the card at all when I painted this. I generally like to do something quite different from the cards- Roxxor here is probably the closest to the card art that I've gotten with my SDE set.

I went with the red because I felt that this mini already had a bit of trouble bringing the attention toward his face, and the grooves for the runes felt too shallow to justify a brighter coloring.
